500

Hard to believe this is my 500th post! But as I look back I see a lot has happened in this timespan. I really blog as a way of journalling some thoughts/photos to enjoy down the road. I have considered having these printed on a little paperback because just like photos I am more apt to look at them in an album versus online.

I am thinking once Wade is home there will be lots more reasons to post so getting to 1,000 posts won't take long!

We found out last night that the adoption tax credit that had expired in 2012 was permanently renewed. I almost feel a little guilty getting it with our country's spending deficit so out of balance. Adoption is expensive and this credit may allow more children to have homes and this is just a drop in the bucket when you look at this country's money problems.

Thanks for reading, even though this is mainly for me....it's fun to see comments. And on our trip this may be the best way to share our experience as China blocks Facebook posts.
